Orange is said to have left after a dispute between former chubby, current Tory Gary Barlow and himself. Barlow was trying to write a verse about the singer, but struggled to find a word to rhyme with his last name.

"I know Gary, and he's a reasonable guy," Williams commented, "I'm sure he would have offered Jason the colour mahogany or pumpkin to rhyme with as a substitue for his last name, but Jason has lost the plot this time."

Williams then continued to discuss his own last name: "Williams rhymes with thrilliams, millions... Gary could write me in and if needs be, I'll squeeze into my old shorts and make myself orange".
